[Artemisia] Now: SCA Jousting

[Allen Hall]

Greeting Juliana,

Yes, we had a great, no, let me re-phrase that, GREAT time.  We'll have to start working on your armour so you too can ride horses and hit people with SCA lances!

Oh, and anyone else who is interested, we'll be having more practices up in 1000 Eyes.  I'll try to keep you posted on the date when we have one coming up.  Give me a hollar if you have any questions.  And yes, we do have horses you can ride...

If you want to see what this is all about check out this link on youtube.com:

The SCA jousting and Heavy Mounted Combat will be adding a whole new dimension onto the fun available for you!

Alan
